We demand, as the apostle demanded, that he must hold fast the faithful word -- at least, so far as that he shall not write deliberate heresy in his examination papers, and shall profess belief in the Creed. We demand, as he demanded, that the candidate must be apt to teach -- at least, so far as an examination of his verbal memory can prove that he knows what he ought to teach. But there is some difference between the "without reproach" of the apostle and our testimonials; and there is a difference between the holding fast of the faith by a man tried in the furnace of life, and the soundness in the faith of a youth fresh from a theological school; and the aptness to teach of a man of experience and social authority is not quite the same thing as the aptness to teach of a young man who has just passed an examination in the subject-matter.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7873</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We haven't raised our rates since 1992.

This sets a fashion which others imitate. Once the richer classes have adopted a certain way of living, producers have an incentive to improve the methods of manufacture so that soon it is possible for the poorer classes to follow suit. Thus luxury furthers progress. Innovation "is the whim of an elite before it becomes a need of the public. The luxury today is the necessity of tomorrow." Luxury is the roadmaker of progress: it develops latent needs and makes people discontented. In so far as they think consistently, moralists who condemn luxury must recommend the comparatively desireless existence of the wild life roaming in the woods as the ultimate ideal of civilized life.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15738</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For I am a bear of very little brain and long words bother me. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24054]]></link><description><![CDATA[For I am a bear of very little brain and long words bother me.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24054</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Thy lips which spake wrong counsel, I kiss close. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23818]]></link><description><![CDATA[Thy lips which spake wrong counsel, I kiss close.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23818</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This is a very exciting time in the world of information.
